Amy
Owner, Home Sweet Home Pet Care of Farmington Valley
Amy has “a hubs,” three children, and two rescue doggies. She is often found on the sidelines of Little League games, or watching track meets, or arguing with her daughter that she can’t go to school covered in marker drawings nor with hair that can only be described as an ideal home for wayward birds.
She spends her free time volunteering for Dog Star Rescue doing everything from transporting to fostering, and currently spends a great deal of time handling their Facebook and social media needs as a member of their advertising/marketing team. When she comes up for air and there’s no cleaning to be done (ha ha ha), she enjoys reading, taking average photos in large numbers, quilting, do-it-yourself projects, making sure her Chihuahua feels like she’s the queen of the Universe, but most of all – sleeping! I’m really good at it – she says.

Jess
Daily Dog Walks
Jess and her family recently moved to Granby in August of 2018. They are all thrilled to see all the wildlife that pass through their yard and occasionally make a buffet out of their trash. Jess is no stranger to the wildlife! With 3 boys, a husband and 2 pups Jess is quite the adventurer.
John
Daily Dog Walks
John grew up with dogs, likes to pet and walk dogs to unwind, and some might say he is a bit obsessed with dogs..and, he is not trying to offend any cats, who John has also owned and lived with in the past, and who have been good companions. Over the past 12 years, he and his family have continuously had anywhere from 2 to 4 dogs at a single time. Currently, he has two pitbull mixes, Josie and Clooney, and a beagle mix, Oliver, but is always willing to consider adding another pup! He likes to go on adventures with his dogs, wife, and 6 year old daughter, practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, exercise, go hiking (preferably, with dogs), and visit breweries (preferably ones that have dogs around that he can pet…and that have great beer, of course).
Savanna
